    From the top. Cams, valve springs and retainers, valves, injectors, flowed head, slugs, rods, crank (if someone were to be doing it properly but you can get away with a standard one), clutch (the whole lot), selector barrel and shifter star, and oil pump and pickup. Then there's the ECU and loom.

    That represents $70k ish on a superbike. I doubt there's a lot on the list that doesn't go into a top chair motor.

    To sum up, get a/another mortgage on your house broseph.

    Yeah boooooiiiiiiiii. Depends what I'm trying to achieve as to how impressive it is though. Can keep it to about six inches off the ground when we're trying to go fast.

    This all might change though, since the good Dr might have an appropriate spring for the rear shock.

    With a monocock tub short chair the fuel tank would be around the back wheel helping with traction, lessening the required passenger input on right handers. well that's how I would build it.

    yeah, and theres 2 off them, identical. when one has a problem the other gets pulled and fixed too, regardless of whether its broken or not.

    god knows why, Cresent Suzuki used the standard oil and water pump on Hoppers 2011 bike, just used a stronger pressure relief valve, but that only made around 220bhp at the wheel.

    You could buy a 2010 motor off Yoshi Merica with 207hp for $12,500NZ, if you bought direct through them instead of the middleman in Oz apparently it was only $3600US

    How do you work out what spring rate you need, I've always thought the rear of our bike is too stiff, but the UK guys say to run it that way

    Same way as a solo, measure the sag. Helps to have a basic understanding of what each function of a shock does.

    Standard on the shock we run is about 8-9kg, reckon we'll go 11 or 12 to gain the stability I want. But if that kills the pace we can launch at, I'll find a middle ground and get the compression stack stiffened up to all fuck in the middle.

    Anyhoo. $70k would be paying retail or close to it. Mr Clee could get a better deal for you if you signed a waiver saying the motor was not going in competition with a Suzuki NZ backed bike while it was still current.

    Come swing on the piece of shit. Thousand bucks says I can get rid of you without being overly rough for it's own sake, before normal race distance is reached and without crashing.

    Really? Because one of us has had several trips to hospital after bike crashes, the other has been once after his brakes failed.

    Guess you don't have the sack.
